@Murphy: it takes far far far more investments to defend against a warrior than it does a bard. I could care less if others have transed skills. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about how the game is incredibly unbalanced unless you do have transed skills. If you did some reading, you'd know that that's what I've been saying. Level 80 is not medium. Level 80 is past 50%.. it's 80% to lvl 100. If that's medium for hp, there's another flaw in the game right there. By the way, I'm sure I spent plenty more hours on this character than some of those people who "have paid money/put in excessive time & effort in order to get their characters to where they are". So don't even bother including time in all of this. Excessive wounds makes it easier to re-afflict. Actually, I beg to differ about envoys. They all seem to be high level, multi transed players. And yet, somehow there is no balance in the game. Go figure. That says all it needs to say.
@Geb: same thing to you on the time, effort and money issue. I in no way expect to be comparable, not even with the best system (btw, quite a few combatants don't use a system they created themselves, go figure), to players of higher level and skill. That's not what I'm asking for. I'm asking for balance at SAME level, SAME lessons. A class's usefulness should not rely on being transed or highly skilled. Yes, being highly skilled is definitely a benefit and makes them even stronger, but until that point is reached, the class is almost useless (this doesn't apply to all classes as each as its own pros and cons in that regard). Once again, the game should not revolve around achieving high level and high skills to be of any use. And "lack" of levels? What, 74 is not a lack. Maybe I'm failing at my math or something, but 74 > 50 (50 is half). If 74 is a lack, then there's yet another problem with the game. Jesus christ, if the game is meant to be enjoyed (I'm sure we all agree that Lusternia is based around pvp conflict), they might as well hand out xp pills that give you 50 levels instantly, since everyone seems to believe that it's a game/admin requirement to be max leveled, max trained to be effective /at all/. Any level under 80 and you're still a novice. WTF is that? Brilliance at its best!
I'd also like to point out that if I transed every single skill availabe to me right now, I'd still be useless against warriors, especially if they hit over 1k a hit (no arties, no multi transed, no higher level). As it is, I'm lucky if I can recover 1k health with the combo of scrolls, health, and sparkleberry. And warriors hit faster than sparkleberry balance, go figure. That's not balanced. Hindering? Oh, sure, if I was near transed. Bard hindering doesn't come into play until being highly trained (I'd come up with a percentage, but I can't access the Scyring Pool right now.. some weird trojan keeps popping up- and I know it's not on my pc). But yeah, even if I had a great system, at current (lvl 74 faeling bard at medium amount of lessons invested, fighting a like leveled warrior with same amount of lessons) there's no way I could win.
And none of this confronts the issue of bashing. That's a whole different argument (actually, it's almost the same).
Wow I really hope this is a joke or a bad attempt at trolling. Absolutely ridiculous nonsense 100%. Learn the damn game and in the meantime. Stop posting. Please for the sake of sanity. You are clearly ignorant about all things in this game, and should suicide your character right away before anyone else catches fail from you.
Some more points:
1. Lvl 92-93 is about 50% to 100.
2. Game is balanced at omnitrans. Go buy the damn skills or quit your bitching. This is a commercial mud.
3. I assure you a bard is capable of winning fights with minimum health. Learn2parry/stance.
EDIT: Those kinds of comments are not acceptable.
(I hope more people than just me remember that.)
